It's been quite a year in the world of golf.
I was in the studio for the Memorial at Muirfield Village and when Tiger holed at the par-three 16th in the final round, me and my guests jumped out of our seats like little boys. It was a tremendous shot in its own right but the fact it set Tiger on the way to his fifth career victory in the event made it even more special. The pin position was horrific on the final day and no-one else had got close to it, so to hole it from about 50 feet and make two when it looked like he would make four and see his title hopes quashed, was astonishing. Nobody has, if I can say, had more 'Tiger' moments than Woods in the game of golf; he has more than 10 great careers put together - and he is not finished yet. He won three tournaments this year and rose back up to world number two, all whilst some doom-mongers were saying he was finished, and he will be right in the Major hunt next year.
Rory is under pressure after what all the great things he has achieved this year and as he has changed his clubs people will be dying to say: 'I told you so' if it goes wrong. If McIlroy has another year similar to this, even if it not quite as good, it will be an outstanding achievement - but I think that will happen and his upward curve, which looks to have no limits, will continue. I also think Poulter (pictured) might win a Major; he was sensational in the Ryder Cup, and then he won the WGC-HSBC Champions after that and the next thing for him is a Major championship - and it may turn out that he gets one before Luke Donald, Lee Westwood, Sergio Garcia and Paul Casey.
